Uffff, was always a fan to wrong number texting ( cough Wattpad and novels cough ), this one was so fun to read through

I laughed a lot to the point my sister thought I was being weirder than usual lmao

I loveddd the forced proximity and really satisfied with how the story went :>

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley publishing group for the ARC.

Absolutely could not put this one down. Sweet and spicy all at the same time. I loved the hidden identity tension and the forced proximity trope.

My only tiny beef was wishing for more opportunities for Liv to see more of the real side of her love interest. I kept waiting for her not to get to see behind the curtain but it never really happened.

I am obsessed with their dynamic though and the human tornado that is Liv.

This was so much fun and definitely a must-read romance!!

WOW did I love this one. Funny, sexy, and both forced-proximity and oh-no-my-big-brother’s-best-friend tropes. A love interest that our main character may have been seeing wrong since high school, and a main character who can never quite get it together.

I SCREAMED at the excerpt from the Love Wager at the end! I wasn’t expecting it and it was PERFECT!

Oh my gosh, this book was so good! I wish I hadn’t waited so long to read it, it was such an enjoyable read. Once I started reading this book, I didn’t want to put it down. The author does a great job at getting you hooked and wanting to read more.

This book had so many great parts to it. I found it to be hilarious, I found myself laughing often during the book. It had brothers best friend, enemies to lovers and roommate tropes in it. There was also text conversations in the book, which I absolutely loved! This is a super quick and easy read. If you’re looking for a quick and fun read, I highly recommend checking this book out!

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved reading this spicy romance novel!! I always love books which have characters who are writers or work in publishing and the female protagonist in this one was so relatable!! She was not a klutz as others thought she is.. she is just passionate.

I really enjoyed reading my first adult romance from Lynn Painter. A fun brother’s best friend trope with a lovable heroine you just want to root for. The back and forth banter was perfection and had me laughing out loud. One of my favorite things in a book is text conversations and this delivered!

I really enjoyed this brother’s best friend/mistaken identity romance! It’s basic in it’s plot line but also quite enjoyable. A girl down on her luck (often) and a successful guy who’s parents expect much of him. Overall, an enjoyable romp of a read!

I enjoy Lynn Painter’s young adult titles, so I decided to give this one a shot. It’s a very cute brother’s best friend romance, but Olivia’s immaturity was annoying and I thought it really was a bit of a stretch to believe that someone like Colin would fall for her.

Well I just love me some Lynn Painter’s writing!!! I was so excited to receive this eARC! While this was my top Painter book, it was definitely a great book. I loved the witty banter and texting. The steam was 🔥 and chemistry was so great. Also love a good laugh out loud book!!

Thank you Lynn, Netgalley and Berkley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and words are my own.

Hi dont mind me... I just LOVED this book. I think it was the perfect balance of having tropes that I know and love while also having characters and a storyline that felt unique and fresh to the author. Lynn Painter just has this way of creating characters and worlds that I love and immediately have to binge. I loved Olivia and actually found her to be really relatable as we are similar ages, and I loved Colin (talk about dream book boyfriend) but I loved them even more together. I just think overall this book was fun, it was chaotic and it definitely opened the door wide open for me in terms of needing to read absolutely everything by this author.

They seemed like teenagers and not grown adults. I didn't like all the miscommunication, who thinks lying to their boss about having kids is going to end well. Especially in your hometown, where you keep meeting people you know and who went to school with you. It was hard to believe that Olivia just had bad luck when she always made such poor decisions.

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for sending me a copy of this book. All opinions are my own!

I wanted to love this book more than I did because I loved the romance aspect and tropes. But one of the other big plot points was something I couldn't get past, and it felt like the MC was constantly doing things that were either incredibly immature or just unrealistic. Her whole plot of getting a job and lying about having kids really put me off. I'm sure people have done crazy things for a job before, but because it's not something I can sympathize with, it made it really hard to relate to her and root for her. It just kind of showcased a lot of her actions as being ridiculous.

I did really enjoy the romance, especially the wrong number portion of it. They were really cute together, and I liked that she kept trying to find a spark with other people and then realizing that he was going to be the only one to do it for her. They were both hilarious and it was a very fun read, I just couldn't get past some of her actions and the miscommunication.

After a string of bad luck, Olivia ends up living with her brother and his best friend, Colin. After receiving a random text from "Mr. Wrong Number" (who is actually Colin), Olivia (Miss Misdial) finds her luck changing...

I liked this, but I just wanted them to talk to each other!

I loved this story and these characters were so much fun. The witty banter, the sibling relationship, the hot chemistry, the flirty text dialogue made this such an entertaining read. I actually listened to the audiobook and Callie Dalton and Andrew Eiden are fantastic as Olivia and Colin. I'm officially a Lynn Painter fan!

This hilarious, steamy romance will be sure to bring a smile to your face! I love Lynn’s writing, and this book was no exception. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, sweet brother’s best friend to lovers romance, pick this one up!

I loved all of the Omaha references. Lynn Painter is a new favorite author to me and I love her characters and worlds she builds.

Lynn Painter makes every romance book SO fun!!! I absolutely loved how fleshed out the characters were, their banter, and the message component of this book! Throw in brother’s best friend turned roommate and it’s the perfect combo! I will say I prefer her YA books, but this was still a fun read!

Thank you to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for access to this advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I was so entertained by this book and these kinds of laughed are good for the soul.

The banter was fantastic. Olivia had a lot of moxie to persevere and matured over the course of the book. Colin was kind and thoughtful when he wanted to be. Omaha setting was unique and different. Olivia was such a fantastic aunt and I loved her relationship with her nephews.

On the flip side, Olivia was a bit annoying and sometimes being a disaster isn’t always cute. There was not much depth to this love story: Colin didn’t always respect Olivia, still always thinking of her as just his best friend’s hot mess of a little sister. Olivia never discovered the truth about Colin and she had a lot of misconceptions about him. Olivia’s family was pretty horrible to her throughout the story.
